The grand prize, which is the second-largest in game history, has an estimated cash value of $820.6 million, according to the lottery. The two winners will split the money.

The largest U.S. lottery jackpot ever won came on Nov. 7, 2022, when a California player won the $2.04 billion prize.

The white balls drawn on Saturday were 11, 23, 44, 61 and 62. The red Powerball was 17. The Power Play was 2X.

"Congratulations to our newest Powerball jackpot winners and the Missouri Lottery and Texas Lottery for selling the winning tickets," Matt Strawn, Powerball Product Group Chair and Iowa Lottery CEO, said in a statement.

"Each $2 ticket sold during this Powerball jackpot run gave players a chance at the prize, while also supporting vital public programs and services in their communities — and that’s worth celebrating!" he continued.

The two winners will have the choice between an annuitized prize of $893.5 million or a lump sum payment worth $410.3 million. If a winner chooses the annuity option, they will receive one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5% each year.
